Support foreign aid

I am writing to highlight my support for the foreign aid in the 2017 budget.

U.S. foreign aid plays a very vital role in alleviating poverty and preventable diseases, and protecting vulnerable children around the world. The absence of such an imperative aid program would no doubt cause a lot of unimaginable effects. Millions of children have received education and have been fed and vaccinated thanks to the U.S. aid programs.

For these reasons, I sincerely appeal to all the stakeholders, especially our representatives in the Senate and House, to support such a noble and worthy cause, which truly reflects our core values as a nation.
